Dear Truman Families,

Our After School Program is currently accepting applications. The program is free and the hours are from 1:32 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. The After School Program focuses on homework, mathematics, physical enrichment, literature, and social development.

We are pleased to announce Truman Middle School has been selected to represent schools across the nation by participating in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). First administered in 1969, NAEP is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students know and can do in various subject areas. It is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics, within the U.S. Department of Education. NAEP is different from state assessments because it provides a common measure of student achievement across the country. The results of NAEP are released as The Nation's Report Card, which provides information about student achievement to educators, parents, policymakers, and the public.

In our school, the NAEP assessment will be given on February 17, 2015. Fifty 8th grade students have been selected to take a mathematics, reading, or science pilot assessment on a tablet. In addition to answering questions in one of these subjects, students will be asked questions about themselves and their educational experiences, such as the amount of reading they do and the types of classes they take. These questions provide contextual information for the assessment, as well as information that may be related to students' learning. If you would like to view sample subject area and contextual questions, please visit http://nationsreportcard.gov/parents.asp.

It will take about 120 minutes for most students to participate in the pilot assessment. The results are completely confidential (in accordance with the Confidential Information Protection provisions of Title V, Subtitle A, Public Law 107-347), and the information provided will be used for statistical purposes only. Students' grades will not be affected.

Encourage your child to do their best and get plenty of rest the night before the assessment. A brochure that explains what participation in NAEP means for you and your child is available at http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/pdf/parents/2012469.pdf. Should you have questions, or if you would like a copy of the brochure, please contact me at 909-357-5190 x35107 or via email at kim.hall@fusd.net.

We are excited that our school will be participating in NAEP and pleased that your child has been selected. We know that Truman's students will help us show what our nation's students know and can do.

Meet Truman Middle School's Students of the Month for September: Yericka Miller and Natalia Sanchez Acosta. They uphold the Truman Code of Readiness, Responsibility, and Respect.

In October, 320 students had perfect attendance and no tardies! All 320 students received a certificate and through a lottery, some of them received In-N-Out Burger gift certificates, movie tickets, and Starbucks mugs.
